if you want to alt-tab to a web browser, you can add FFXIV as a non steam game and you can shift + tab and use steam's built in web browser. That's what I did last beta test and worked fine :D

[The Q]

How do installed patch?

Like when I download the .patch file where do I put it when I start up?

Jesus this updater is dumb. Not like it hasn't been said before.

[Arximiro]

Why are you running it through Steam if you don't have to?

[Gokulo]

I want to kill some people on the EU forum right now....

How %@$%ing hard is it to understand that GMT doesn't change.

Seriously.

Yeah, that topic is just too much... O.o

That's a pretty good idea, only issue is that SLI isn't functionnal so no point yet.

At least you don't have to go to work right when beta starts. Ugh!

Just run it in windowed mode at your monitors res, then you can still use your good browser among other programs.

Looks like SE put a better queue system in place, nice.

EDIT: Don't hit cancel login. Went from 59 to 189.

Would be cool if someone with ATI issues during the first tests posted first impressions about the supposedly improved performance.. getting off work in an hour QQ

I can come with an update as soon as I get out of this queue.

[Hyan]

Doesn't sound like a better system to me >_>!

Thanks Zubis.

hmmm... I vote for the left squiggly.

Hmm well it went down for me again.

In other news, they posted synthesis recipes on main site.

It's a good workaround until they can add them to the game itself at least, nice.

2 characters in a yes/no scenario is the yes option (visually, characters are usually spaced evenly in a set width, if you can't distinguish it). Left is the yes option here for reference.

Also, did you guys get a seemingly small list of crafting recipes posted?

Thanks to the huge amount of new users, there's way more seeds on the patches. Took about 10 mins for all three.

Anyone get in or we kill login?
